That is the obvious question. But it’ll work either way. If the city council have come to terms, there’s no way that the funding won’t be available from a Labor Govt as well.

I would hope it is committed expenditure by the Feds for us to announce it.
It is not an upgrade but a complete move. Therefore should be more concrete than a mere promise.

What do we reckon the time frame will be on this thing?

I’m assuming we’re going to be given a lease on the land not be purchasing it.
Generally that means we need to be creating a money generating asset on it, as we won’t get anything from the land value appreciation.
The problem is by the sounds it isn't concrete plans yet. Long way to go with the ACC.

It is. Woodville-West Torrens have been using the ground over the summer after letting their agreement with Therbarton lapse (Charles Sturt offered a better deal for Footy Park).

I'd really hope so. The aquatic centre although old is heavily used by so many different communities and would be a huge loss for that side of the city.

We wouldn’t have gone public had the council already not be on board.

No way we’ve gone too early, it’s a done deal.
Most of the new training facilities for AFL clubs are partnerships that benefit the community. So cant see the Aquatic Centre.being closed down for the public.

Apparently the feds were going to announce it in the budget coming up so the club Wouldn't have been able to control the announcement on it's terms
Sounds more like committed funding and not an election promise.
Good.

This is from the Adelaide parklands preservation society's website regarding the Crows relocation.
www.adelaide-parklands.asn.au/crows
There is no detail about how such a centre would operate, who would be admitted, for what prices, and how much of the site, if any, would be available for non-members i.e. the public.
There are also questions about the extent to which the Crows might be wanting to take over one or more of the four adjacent sporting fields in Denise Norton Park / Pardipardinyilla (Park 2). The Ovals are licenced to Blackfriars Priory College.
We may be cynical but we fear the worst. Money talks, and the Adelaide Crows have the financial resources to make the Council an offer that it might not be able to resist.
Can this group stymie the development or are they inconsequential?

Yes we better get a training ground the exact dimensions of the MCG at any new facilities. Important we learn to play there structurally etc.
If the State Government get behind it, should be ok.
But they will make noise. They did help block the Adelaide 500 grandstand and made a mess of the obahn extension (ironically making it worse for the parkland). So not inconsequential but not full blown powerful.
They have no idea lol. Any use of the ovals would be in partnership with the school!!
